John J. McDonough (January 26, 1901 – April 1, 1983) was a college football player and one time president of Georgia Power. He also coached Savannah High School.
A native of Savannah, McDonough was a star quarterback for William Alexander's Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football teams, inducted into the school's athletics hall of fame in 1962. McDonough amassed a 26âÂÂ7 record while at Tech.
He started as a true freshman when Marshall Guill was moved to end, and only missed four games in four years due to an injury in his sophomore season caused by Pitt's Orville Hewitt.
